Visitor Reviews of Goosewing Beach

“I was invited to surf here this week 9/16-9/25 because no local would tackle the large groomed sets coming from several storms.......seems Little Compton (no, not Crenshaw and Homieville) only surf at beach clubs on 3' wind slop closeouts......there were waves from 3- 10' with predominantly N winds and rides like Santa Cruz where I live....no one there! Breton pt was cross-wind, but reminded me of Haleiwa. Goosewing is an A-frame Sunset-type break left and right...Pretty heavy and slight tube sections. 2 more breaks west were points, but seemed could only handle waves less than 6'......we tried some fried clams (tasted like you know what stank!) and they reminded us of baby bulut! The citizens there are in a time warp wearing Puritan clothing and have sex with their clothes on.....damn! Gimme good ole Cal Pelosi liberalism any day!”
